    Gate of Stellar Scars

    by Potato

    In this world, there exists Star Gates. Those who enter it become gods. Ren Ye, who has already served three and a half years in prison, was suddenly visited by a mysterious figure. The person said: “If you’re willing to join a game, you can leave now. The price… is that you might die.” Many years later, Ren Ye stood alone within the Star Gate. Looking back at the past, the faces in his memory have long since blurred… 2024, the tides are rising, and the travelers must keep vigil.
